That does look well, like it last year at the 100 centenery at Dunton technical plant there were vans out in the paddock where we all parked all covered up with sheets, we were taking sneak peeks can't remember if they looked like that though

As good as they are, nothing drives as well, or is as practical as a Transit though...... imho

tommytwotanks

are they cutting back at southampton then

tommytwotanks

i expect it will be an october launch, let the muppets rush to get the 62 plate old shape in september, then launch new shape

foreigneRS

no idea, but the china built ones are for the local market which is obviously expanding

Maxwell

It was mentioned in an article on either the autosport or top gear website, about how the tranny is replacing the econoline and econovan, and there will be the 365bhp ecoboost v6 in it from the taurus sho

New transit is nice. But its very merc sprinter esque

Some cool pics in that link. Lol at the one with the dinosuar on the tranny.

So the van made in the 70s, is that classed as a mark 2 tranny.

No, mk1 facelift.

MK1 was the original shape

MK2, plastic grille

MK3, first of the more rounded shape, wedge fronted

MK4, early 92-94ish first tweaks to that shape

MK5, the smiley with the curved dash

MK6, the new shape square grille from 2000

MK7, the same shape with the new front end and all new interior

MK8, the absolute stunner above!
